    Some of the outsourcers in the Philippines that I work with have strange names. There was a girl called "Lovely Gay Ramos"

    A lof of the customer service reps have official aliases. It happens quite a bit in call centers for those that aren't familiar. In my place the name always matches the initials. So a guy called John smith could be assigned the alias Joseph Saunders.

    The was one guy I saw with the Alias Jonny Sidewinder. And a girl with the name Sasha Wendover

    Some of the names of players in the NFL and the NBA are ****ing atrocities.

    D'Brickashaw Ferguson

    Tayshaun Prince

    There's loads of names that would be fine except they add "le", "la" or "de" in front of them like former Rangers forward, DeMarcus Beasely or a player in the NBA - LaMarcus Aldridge.

    I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when their parents were choosing names.

    I know a Nicole Coleman. Wasn't there a Luke Lukas on XFactor a few years ago?

    A neighbours child is called Katie-Katherine. They really did their research ;)

    Misspelled names bug me more than anything. Spelling Sophie as Sohfeigh doesn't make it more "unique", just makes parents look thick. :rolleyes:

    Frank Zappa gave his kids some weird names:
    Dweezil Zappa,
    Ahmet Zappa,
    Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa &
    Moon Unit Zappa.

    Drugs may have been involved.

    Not met anyone with a really strange name that i remember. The girlfriend of a friend is called Kim Jong-Un though...
